Is the queen of england so damn aged she can't reign?

everyone worries he'll die if he gets in. His mother is 95, no history of health issues? so why the concern?

Answer 1

That is the only thing against him that Democrats can think of.

Answer 2

Q. WHY is McCain considered "too old and senile?"

A. Because he is too old. And senile.



Q. is the pope too senile to be holy?

A. Senility has nothing to do with holiness.

What makes you think because the pope was voted in

as the holy vicar of Christ on earth by a bunch

of earthly cardinals that that automatically makes

the pope holy?



Q. is hugh hefner too grampa-ish to score with hot blondes?

A. Absolutely. Unless you actually think those blondes that

he suppossedly "scores" with really are 'hot'. I believe they

are the ones who are 'scoring' off Mr. Hefner, not the other

way around. No matter how much viagra he takes.



Q. is the queen of england so damn aged she can't reign?

A. The queen doesn't set national policy, doesn't enact any

laws and plays no part in the parlimentary process of government for the United Kingdom. "Queen" is merely a

title. She is a figurehead...a queen in name only. She is not

the POLITICAL ruler of anything.



"everyone worries he'll die if he gets in."

Dying in office is NOT what worries people!

Dying in office AND leaving one helluva mess

behind is the greater concern when speaking

of his health.



"His mother is 95, no history of health issues?"

Are you asking or telling?

His mother's health hasn't got a single thing to do with any

legitimate election issue...and certainly has nothing to do

with the health of senator McCain.



"so why the concern?"

Have you seen/read about ANY of this man's ongoing health

problems? Not issues, PROBLEMS.

Check this link below :

http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/01/senator-mccains-health/

Don't just dismiss it because you don't want to bother with

facts. Take 3 minutes and read.

And this report is just the tip of his ill-health iceberg.



So yeah, I'm very concerned.



I'm even more concerned about people like you, who

can't even come up with any better arguments for voting

FOR this man than the feeble ones you put forth in this

question session.

Answer 3

No, he is not too old & he isn't senile! I think he gets a bit nervous in front of crowds & at times make mistakes, but that by no means indicates that he is senile. He has admitted that he is not well versed in finance, I feel that he will pick a VP who is in the know about the things that he comes up short on, like fiscal policy. He does care for the troops, having been in the military, a prisoner of war, he cares deeply about each man in the service to this country. However, he insists that we finish the job in Iraq & not leave that country in far worse shape than when we went there & made it a war zone. I happen to agree with this policy.

Answer 4

The pope is nothing but a religious figure.

Hugh Hefner is an international icon who owns a porn magazine.

The Queen of England has no actual political power. She's just a figurehead.



None of the individuals that you have listed have an entire country's future riding on their backs. So I would say McCain deserves a little bit more looking into than those on your list.



That said, I don't think age should be too big of an issue. People should question him about policies, ideals, etc. not so much his age.

Answer 5

Wouldn't you think the Republicans would have considered his age when giving him the nomination? He IS too old and has already showed signs of forgetfulness...several times. He probably couldn't serve a second term, which is an important issue when voting for a President. Your above analogies are too much of a stretch to be valid. The job of President of the United States is considerably more important and demanding than the people you mentioned. McCain should be thinking about retirement...not a new job!

Answer 6

Nope, ima nonetheless 12 in my head ........ i nonetheless undergo in suggestions thinking various the comparable concept varieties as i did whilst i became into 12 ............ it rather is many times that my mom does some daft issues or why can not people only be remarkable to a minimum of one yet another ........ i think of old age is once you in basic terms can not be stricken being remarkable to your self or all people else for that count anymore? CHEERS ?

Answer 7

McCain support Bush 95% on most issues such as the economy, healthcare, education and the war.

He is not doing any tax cut for middle class, but Obama will make tax cut for everyone who make less than 250,000 a year.

McCain has not proposed how he is going to help the 47 million without healthcare in this country but Obama will.

McCAIN has not say how he is going to help college students who are struggling with their student loans, but Obama will and will provide more scholarships and grants.

MCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, but Obama want to carefully removed them and stop spending 10 billion a month in Iraq.

McCain has not proposed how he is going to help people with this high gas prices but the democrats and Obama came up with a bill that will reduce the price but the republicans voted against last tuesday, June 9.

Answer 8

His mother has nothing to do with him but if you want to use that as a logical reason then his father died at 51, you have to figure that into this...He health record was so many pages & he controlled how the reports could report on it by limiting the time they could spend on it. He stays out of the news as much as posible cause everytime he says something it is an embarrassment to him....There is a season for everything. I love in a state with 4 seasons. We plant seeds in April & plant them in the ground in May. There are different things that take place. We do not start planting seeds in the groud in Dec. the dead of winter. There is a time for everything. I like thinking positive, it is so important. I like Hope. I hope I am healhy enough in my 70's to take on a new job. But I won't do that. I won't give birth to a child in my 70's either. It is not natural in the year 2008 to give birth. It is a time to be preparing for another transition & to step aside & allow others to do the hard work....We don't really know anything about his mother, so the republicans are showing desparation to look to her for inspiration. If McCain is not insane then he should be talking about things as a sane person would. I saw him this eve. & he was boring himself. We need life if we as a country are going to be vibrant. He has nothing going for him.

Answer 9

I don't think he is "too old and senile". I do think his age is relevant to the job. McCain's mother is in great health, apparently. He has had a couple of bouts of cancer and he may have lingering health issues from his days as a POW.



Interesting that you mention a bunch of people who are not running things day to day. Let's be honest about that. The queen is a figure head, should our next president be? I don't think so!

Answer 10

You haven't been paying attention. He makes LOTS of gaffes. When he ran in 2000, he didn't make gaffes, he made a GAFFE. (Ran as indie) His cancer history is disturbing. (Note how his medical history was so tightly released.) He has signs of disarythia. (Slurring speech) He still suffers from the injuries incurred in Vietnam. People in the Senate have made reference to his unreal temper. (PTSD?)

Now to respond to your examples:

The Pope is interim and has already pissed off the Muslims.

Hefner has been weird since his stroke years ago. And he has bimbos cause he's RICH!

The Queen is a figure head.

If you want a Strom Thurmond in office, or a Reagan in his second term, be my guest, but you betray either a partisan agenda or simple intellectual laziness.

Answer 11

His mother may not have a history of health issues, but McCain sure does. And some of his actions would make him appear "senile": you tube: ?v=o-zoPgv_nYg

Answer 12

Because he DOES have heatlh problems. He makes no sense when he talks often enough (or he's just a horrible, horrible liar). He gets 100% disability from the military, that aught to tell you something about his heatlh.



Let me ask you this. How is it that McCain confused sunni and shiah for 2weeks straight in several different public venues (2radio stations, 1television appearance and 1live appearance in Jordan) and had to be corrected by Lierbermann while on camera? Is he that unknowledgable about the situation in the middle east or is he old? There's no other option. You choose.



How is it that he said a year ago we could stay in Iraq a 100years and it wouldn't matter, because it'd be like Korea (perm military bases), then said 3months ago -- Iraq ISN'T the same situation as Korea and we should be gone by 2013, then last week said again that Iraq is like Korea and "it's not important" how long the troops remain there. Which is it?



I personally think he doesn't care, doesn't know or he's too old to remember. Whatever the excuse or reason, I'm not voting for him.

Answer 13

Because he's too old and senile.



Honestly, his age is one of the least of my concerns. I think he is out of touch with reality and probably should spend the rest of his life golfing, not trying to run this country.



McCain will hurt this country. Obama will improve this country regardless of what the retards say.

Answer 14

Because he's a Republican.



Democrats are afraid to oppose him with legitimate issues, so they just repeat stuff like that.

Answer 15

Because he can't even properly read a teleprompter any more. How is he going to lead a country?

Answer 16

Big difference between all those other jobs and being President of the United States.

Answer 17

The big question of age is if he gets a dog of a vp. Then it would be a serious problem.



Some of your examples are pretty silly.

Answer 18

It's the "Pampers" incident that did it for me...

Answer 19

Because the Dems are running an empty suit and they know they're going to lose.

Answer 20

It is grasping at straws by Obama supporters.

Answer 21

They have nothing else to fault him on.

Answer 22

Yes, he's way too old. His facilities are starting to slip

Answer 23

not only that,he has more experience than obama had years alive.

Answer 24

He's a racist, he doesn't care about our troops, and he doesn't have a CLUE about the economy.
